There are various types of cookies, depending on their characteristics and functions, and these can remain on a user’s computer or mobile device for different periods of time: session cookies, which are automatically deleted when the browser is closed; persistent cookies, which remain on a user’s device until a pre-established expiry date.

According to the legislation in force in Italy, a user’s express consent is not always required for the use of cookies. In particular, “technical cookies” i.e. those used for the sole purpose of transmitting a communication over an electronic communications network, or to the extent strictly necessary to provide a service explicitly requested by the user, do not require this consent. In other words, these are cookies that are essential for the functioning of the website or necessary to perform activities requested by users. Among the technical cookies which do not require express consent for their use, the Italian Data Protection Authority also includes:

 

•          analytics cookies (anonymous statistics cookies), if tools are adopted that reduce the identifying power of cookies and the third-party supplier does not cross-reference the information collected with other information already available, used directly by the website operator to collect information, in aggregate and anonymous form, on the number of users and how they visit the website;

Conversely, for profiling cookies - aimed at identifying user preferences in order to improve and customize their browsing experience and/or send them marketing communications in line with the preferences expressed while browsing - as well as for analytics cookies, if tools that reduce the identifying power of cookies are not adopted and the third party cross-references the information collected with other information already available, prior consent from the user is required.
